Know before you buy
The two-chamber design separates the debris-collecting filter media from the pump area. This prevents the pump from clogging and allows you to clean or replace the filter media without having to reach into the pump chamber itself.
Filter brushes are generally better at catching larger debris and are easier to rinse off, while the vertical filter mat provides a finer level of filtration for smaller particles. Choose brushes if your pond is near trees with heavy leaf fall, or the mat if you prefer a more thorough mechanical filtration.
The skimmer features an integrated flange specifically designed to be covered with rocks or landscaping materials. By placing natural stone over the flange, you can blend the unit into the pond's edge for a seamless, natural look.
Select your size based on your pond's surface area and the flow rate of your pump. The Mini is suitable for smaller setups, while the Large model handles up to 18,000 GPH and larger surface areas up to 600 square feet.
Yes, the debris net is designed for quick access and removal. It sits at the front of the skimmer to catch leaves and large debris before they reach the filter media, making it simple to lift out and empty during your weekly maintenance.
These skimmers are compatible with most standard submersible pond pumps, provided the pump's flow rate does not exceed the maximum rating for your specific skimmer model. Always verify your pump's GPH requirements against the skimmer's capacity before installation.
